Although in the majority of cases, Архива receives emails for archiving after they have already been processed by the mail server's antivirus scanner, for extra protection, it is possible to configure Архива to perform additional antivirus scanning. To enable this feature, it is necessary to install the ClamAV antivirus scanner (preferably on the same machine running Архива)
Windows Setup Instructions
Please refer to the Clam-AV website. Modify the clamd.conf file as in the Ubuntu setup instructions below.
Ubuntu Setup Instructions
Install the ClamAV antivirus scanner from the terminal prompt as follows:
apt-get install clamav
apt-get install clamav-daemon
apt-get install clamav-daemon
Modify the /etc/clamav/clamd.conf configuration file as follows:
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
TCPSocket 3310
FixStaleSocket true
LocalSocketGroup clamav
LocalSocketMode 666
# TemporaryDirectory is not set to its default /tmp here to make overriding
# the default with environment variables TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP possible

Note: The line TCPSocket 3310 was added to the configuration above. This causes Clam to listen on port 3310 for scanning jobs.
After modifying the configuration as above, reconfigure clamd as follows:
dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base
Архива Clam-AV Setup
Thereafter, login to the Архива console. From Configuration->Archive modify the Clamd configuration to point to the newly installed Clam deamon.
Identifying Viruses
Emails that contain viruses are still archived for record keeping purposes, however, they show up with a Bug icon in the search results. The intention is to warn users that the email may contain a virus.
